  • Electrical power distribution system with selectively connectable charge storage medium
    Patent number: 12570229
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for supplying and receiving electrical power from multiple electrical power buses. The system includes an electrical charge storage medium, a first switch connecting the storage medium to a first power bus, and a second switch connecting the storage medium to a second power bus. These switches are electronically controlled by a controller to manage power flow between the storage medium and the power buses.

  • DC-DC Converters for Vehicles
    Publication number: 20250229632
    Abstract: A system for supplying a low DC voltage to a vehicle from at least one high voltage battery of the vehicle. The system includes a first DC-DC converter and a second DC-DC converter. The first DC-DC converter is configured to convert a high DC voltage from the at least one battery of the vehicle to a low DC voltage. The second DC-DC converter has a lower power compared to the first DC-DC converter and is configured to convert a high DC voltage from the at least one battery of the vehicle to the low DC voltage. The first DC-DC converter and the second DC-DC converter are configured to be connected to the at least one high voltage battery.

  • DC-DC Converters for Vehicles
    Publication number: 20250229671
    Abstract: A system includes a first DC-DC converter, a second DC-DC converter, and a third DC-DC converter. The first DC-DC converter is configured to convert a high DC voltage from a first battery of a vehicle to a low DC voltage. The second DC-DC converter is configured to convert a high DC voltage from a second battery of the vehicle to the low DC voltage. The third DC-DC converter has a lower output power compared to the first and second DC-DC converters and is configured to convert a high DC voltage from the batteries of the vehicle to the low DC voltage. The first DC-DC converter is configured to be connected to the first battery. The second DC-DC converter is configured to be connected to the second battery. The third DC-DC converter is configured to be connected to the first and second batteries in series.
